Klaus is my husband's name. When we met in college I thought it was a very odd name, but now I couldn't picture him as anything else. He loves that it sounds strong yet is unique and people always remember it! Sometimes he gets the (Santa) Claus pronunciation but usually it just takes one correction and people don't make the mistake again. He is a lively, funny, outgoing, masculine yet unique guy, so it fits him perfectly!
